I've been trying to find a logical link to this code for a few hours now with no success, so I thought someone here would find it interesting to have a go with it and have a solution, maybe ?
also if someone can teach me some methods on how to approach puzzles and codes like these... I'd be thankful :)

the code : [2:286] [93:4] [93:5]

Logical link is that they are all verses in the Quran?

Probably not what you are looking for, but that's all I got.

yeah that's the first thing I got when I googled the numbers but I doubt it too

I asked Chat GPT if it could help crack the code and it couldn't help without more information about where the code came from or what it could be in reference to.

I then started a new chat and just entered the code with no question and it said:

[2:286] refers to a specific verse in the Quran, which is the central religious text of Islam. This verse is part of Surah Al-Baqarah, the second chapter of the Quran, and it reads:

"Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns. Our Lord, do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, do not place on us a burden like the one you placed on those before us. Our Lord, do not place on us a burden we have not the strength to bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so help us against the disbelieving people."

[93:4] and [93:5] also refer to verses in the Quran, specifically in Surah Ad-Dhuha, the 93rd chapter. These verses read:

[93:4] "And verily, the Hereafter will be better for you than the present."

[93:5] "And, indeed, your Lord will give you so that you shall be well-pleased."

These verses are seen as a message of hope and encouragement to the Prophet Muhammad, who was going through a difficult time in his life. They also serve as a reminder to all believers that the ultimate reward lies in the Hereafter, and that they should remain patient and steadfast in their faith.


I asked if it looked like it would fit into any type of known code or cypher?

The format of the numbers you provided doesn't immediately match any well-known encryption or encoding system that I'm aware of. However, it's possible that they could be part of a custom-made code or cypher that was designed specifically for a certain purpose.

If you have access to the entire code or cypher and its associated documentation, it may be possible to decipher the meaning of the numbers. Without that information, it's difficult to provide a more specific answer.

Heh so basically you need to know the cypher already for the magic "AI" to decode it for you. Thanks, AI, brilliant.
Guess it's not learning enough from all the social media interaction and knock knock jokes.

The text of the verses it refers to, however, show promise. They can definitely be used for a riddle of some kind.

I think it is just because there isn't enough information to do anything with it. It doesn't look like any know code so there isn't really any way to convert it into something.

I think the part asking for documentation is referring to the previous sentence where it said it could be part of a custom made code. If it is a new type of encryption that someone just made up and the AI doesn't have any knowledge of, it might be able to solve it, but it would need to learn how to use that encryption first.

No no I get it.
The problem is that it's not an AI, it's a web crawler with a chat-like interface.
It needs to be fed from better resources. So ofc it can't help with that. It's not intelligent. It's asking to be fed to be able to regurgitate an answer.

It's not a web crawler, it's a language model.

If you are interested in what it is and how does it work, here's a very good article

Could be and a comparison though

Psalm 93:4

Mightier than the thunders of many waters, mightier than the waves of the sea, the Lord on high is mighty!

Psalm 93:5

Your decrees are very trustworthy; holiness befits your house, O Lord, forevermore.

At least according to Google

But even then, to go from text to code.. Nah

And it can be other things as well.. Volume, Issue etc

The notation could be part of a solution to a problem similar to this: https://web.media.mit.edu/~walter/MAS-A12/week2notes.html

these lyrics were attached may or may not help
"I long for that feeling to not feel at all
The higher I get, the lower I'll sink
I can't drown my demons they know how to swim"

Citing from the AI answer from earlier:

These verses are seen as a message of hope and encouragement to the Prophet Muhammad, who was going through a difficult time in his life

Fits the theme of that BMTH song:

"(...) the lower I'll sink (...) can't drown my demons".

So why can't it be just that?

The person whom I got the code from aren't religious but might be though .

When you say "they might be", it sounds like you don't really know? You can't always 'see' whether someone is religious or not, but I'm sure you know that already. Besides, even if they're not, depending on the context in which this was stated, they might be citing it for other reasons. With the info we're given and without additional context, the lyrics + verses make perfect sense to me.

I just don't want to throw any possibilties out, that might be the key, other than that am looking into general decipher techniques ,I also got a gift from them a book (it ends with us) but I highly doubt that it has any connection as example page 93 line 4 (i am going to do everything I can to help othe people...), am just gonna give it a few more tries before I go ask them directly and will post the answer here.

Ah, that was what I was thinking about, although I would probably have gone with page x WORD y and not not LINE Y, that way you would could get a 3 word sentence. [93:4] [93:5] could then be two words that often go together?

  • Lead 3: Lines from the book (it ends with us)
    • [PAGE:LINE]
      • page 2 missing
      • page 93 line 3 → I’ll never be like that. I swear to you, when I grow up, I’m going to do
      • page 93 line 4 → everything I can to help other people.I’ll be like you, Ellen.just probably not as… …rich.
    • [PAGE:WORD]
      • page 2 missing still
      • page 93 word 4 → My
      • page 93 word 5 → Father
    • [LINE:PAGE]
      • Line 2 page 286 → mine and there’s a three-second pause while we both stare at each..
      • Line 93 page 4 → (NULL)
      • Line 93 page 5→ (NULL)
    • [WORD:PAGE]
      • Word 2 page 286 → Time
      • Word 93 page 4 → (NULL)
      • Word 93 page 5 → (NULL)

I'v tried to draw it in a coordinate system only to realize it would be nothing more than two lines at best that are almost overlapping. :/

yeah it doesn't do it , I've also tried periodic table and some other ways to convert numbers to letter such as ASCII or A=0 but nothing useful

You can never have too many GIFs.

Except when you do it like me and just randomly dump them all unsorted on your Desktop. Then things can get messy pretty quickly 😅

It doesnt matter how it looks on the outside. What's important is how it feels on the inside.

Now I wish there was a GIF from the Adult Film Conference in HBOs Silicon Valley. But there isn't so this will have to do 😅
